Natural resources; land, water and forests play a critical role in
supporting the livelihood system of millions of rural households.
However, the distressing fact is that the state witnesses
degenerated natural resource wealth. Unsustainable utilization of
natural resources has been one of the important causes of
environment pollution and ravaged ecology which results in
frequent disasters contributing to the process of further
marginalization and improvement of poor and marginalized sections. Udyama has emerged as a support organization to facilitate a
conducive environment and enhancing capacity of local communities
and their organizations in combating risks and rebuilding the
fragile natural resource base as well as depleting livelihood
options.

Over years, we have embraced issues
relating to other social issues like education and health, which has a
significant influence on the livelihood of the poor. Poverty deprives
the poor to have access to basic education and health. Udyama have
been trying to facilitate changes directed towards improving the
implementation of education and health based programmes. We have been
focusing our attention on strengthening the economic capability of the
poor and non-affordable sections to be able to democratically exercise
rights to basic education and health.

Udyama has its main office at Nayagarh,
Orissa and liasioning office in Bhubaneswar and field office in
Titlagarh, Orissa. The organisation is staffed with a team of
